Two lessons had passed since the number of mbers for the lunch break and study session increased by one.
I prepared the sa small blackboard and chalks with what I gave to Triela for Rico. Rather, I pretended to go and take it from my storage even though I made a new one and handed it over to her. With that, I began to teach her, but
To be honest, I was making light of Ricos motivation. She was a very fast learner. I could even say that she was faster than Triela. In our third study session, she had already caught up with Trielas progress. Since I taught Rico after teaching Triela first, I could see how fast Rico learned the basics.
Rico is a very fast learner. Youre even faster than Triela. Really? Ehehe, did you hear that? Im better than Triela! Dont get carried away! Triela is being violent~!
You guys shouldnt quarrel. Lets get along well, okay?
Both of you have learned the basic kanji. It should be okay for you to start learning difficult kanji. Since Triela already learned katakana, I think it should be okay for Rico to ask Triela if theres sothing you dont understand.
They have learned up to this point, so the rest was up to their determination. Good luck, both of you!1
I can read the books in the reference room now, right! Hmm, but Im still not very good with the difficult kanji I can only ask the librarian for the kanji I dont understand. Its not like youre asking them to read the whole text like before, so dont worry too much. Is that so? Yes.
Now then. Since the study ti was over, how about having our lunch?
Todays nu was rice balls. It wasnt the type where the ingredients were in the middle, but seasoned rice balls. These rice balls had a mixture of minced vegetables and chicken at in the rice. The other dish was pork miso soup. But since the at wasnt pork but orc at, so orc soup? For so reason, it suddenly sounded indecent. Hmm, lets just go with pork miso soup.
Lets eat. Yay! Thank you!
While handing the rice ball and miso soup to both of them, I also prepared Norn and Bells share. They were curling up on my feet. Eat lots, yeah?
What I learned from feeding them a lot of dishes recently was that Norn seed to like miso and als with soy sauce. Therefore, todays lunch hit right on the mark. Norns tail was swinging around. Bell basically ate everything. Even so, she didnt like bitter food.
I think Norn was getting bigger these days, but it was probably because I fed her a lot of things I felt like I could even ride her back now.2
You even prepared our als even after you taught us how to read and write. Is this really okay? I dont mind. Plus, its more delicious to eat together. Thats right~ Its more delicious to eat together~! Rico, you Hah, okay then. Thanks, Ren. Ill gratefully eat it! Yes, eat up. Todays al is delicious too~
This is rice? Was rice always this delicious? When we ate it in the orphanage, wasnt it hard and unappetizing? Theres a trick in cooking it. Once you get used to it, you can cook it deliciously. Hee Rice is cheaper than wheat, right? Since its this delicious, should we buy rice and cook it on our own? Its also cheaper to eat potatoes nowadays.
Ah, right. Surprisingly, potatoes were normally eaten in the royal capital. Since a few years ago, a policy had recomnded eating potatoes to raise food self-sufficiency rate. They taught how to store it and where the poisonous parts were. Even so, it seed like it wasnt spread until Harula? It would take so ti before they managed to spread the knowledge in the entire kingdom.
By the way, this policy seed to be His Majesty the Kings direct command. Plus, it seed like selling dishes using potatoes with sprouts for personal gains could be considered as going against the King. In the worst case, they might be sentenced to the death penalty for treason? To think that selling potatoes with sprouts would kill you
I guess if they didnt do it that way, the guys who only thought about themselves wouldnt be obedient, but getting a death penalty because of potatoes it was kind of terrible.
Oh? Speaking of which, Lily cried when she ate my potato salad before, right? When the potatoes started to spread in the royal capital, she mustve lived here Did sothing happen to her? Maybe she was poisoned before?
The inn were staying in doesnt serve food and the ventilation in the room is terrible Since our party has a large number of people, I think we should rent a house in the future.
The monthly rent is quite reasonable, so isnt it fine to do that after saving up so money?
Right At least n and won have separate rooms. If we have a kitchen, we can cook our own als too. Ill try to look for a house with that kind of arrangent.
Well, I think you should rent it before winter. Please tell when youre going to rent a house. Ill teach you how to cook rice.
Thank you!
Cain is stupid, so he bought his equipnt first even though we cant take subjugation tasks. Hes really an idiot, isnt he?
Yeah, hes really stupid.
He shouldve thought that his body will grow bigger by the ti hes thirteen years old, right? Does he understand how expensive it will cost us to buy new armors? Why is he that stupid?
He probably only wants to look good. Maybe he thought its cool to wear armor and hang a sword on his waist. Ah, thats definitely the reason. After all, Cain is too much of a fool~ Usually people will think of their living environnt first too.
We can only collect herbs and do odd jobs right now, so a knife or a dagger should be enough as a weapon, right? Besides, if a goblin appears, we can do nothing but run away.
But he made a scene when Triela defeated a goblin the other day, right? Thats why hes so noisy, asking for a weapon~
Lets ignore him.
In the end, we ca to the conclusion that Cain was stupid. However, I felt a bit complicated to get excited while talking about that fool, so lets change the topic.
Ah, right. Rico, please co over here first. Nn? What?
I made a dagger for you. For armor I think its still a bit too early for you, so have this leather cloak.
Eh, is this okay!? Hey, Ren! You shouldnt spoil her too much! Im sure its the sa for Triela, but I hate it if Rico gets hurt. Even if you said that Both of you have no right to refuse. Muu. Yay! I also got Rens equipnt!
The dagger was brand new, but I tried to modify the cloak I used in the beginning. I also applied [Concealnt] Level 2 there, so it should be hard for the monsters to attack her, I think?
Eh? Wasnt it dangerous in a different sense if I gave her equipnt with that kind of skill, you say? That might be the case, but if I didnt do this much, I felt like this kid would sohow rashly jump into danger.
Hmm, after that is
Do both of you still have so ti today? Eh? Yeah, were still free for around an hour. Then Ill teach you a little magic. Please co here. Magic!? We can use magic like Ren? Amazing! Muu, I dont know where Rens evolution will stop.
Yeah, lets teach them magic. With this, they dont need to pay for anything. And if they can learn it, even the small Rico can be very helpful.
Well, yeah, kind of. For today, lets start by learning [Mana Sense] as the preparation for learning magic. We cant just imdiately use it? Thats the case for talented people. We ordinary people have to do it steadily.
Even though I said so, Im actually a talented person. Sorry for lying~
Both of you, please take my hand, close your eyes, and focus. Im pouring my magic to you, so try to sense it, okay?
I learned how to do it from Lilys magic course, so I should imdiately put it into practice! Even if both of them couldnt learn it today, well, it seed like they would be able to learn it before long if they practiced steadily. For now, lets patiently keep at it.
Hmm? Ahh, I feel sothing kind of warm? I think?
Oh, that went well? Should I keep going?
Then lets take one step further. Hold both of your hands together and lets make a circle together. Ill pour my magic to Triela and return it back through Rico. Please sense the flow.
By the way, this was a practicing thod I did all the ti to train up to the three stages of perception, operation, and circulation. When I did it alone, I circulated my magic power within my body. Having done that, I eventually learned [Mana Circulation].
Ah, sothing seems to be flowing? How about Rico? Do you understand? Yeah, I feel like I understand it sohow?
Okay, then well go to the next stage. Lets go steadily.
Okay, now release both of your hands and try to sense the magic power within your own body. Hmm I feel like I can sense it, but I also cant? Ah, I think I get it!
Oh? Seems like Rico was more talented? Lets check both of your statuses then! Triela Yeah, she learned [Mana Sense]. But the level was zero. For the ti being, she had picked up on how to start. Rico was eh?
Both of you have learned it, eh. I feel a bit bad, but I checked your statuses for a mont. Eh? Ah, are you using [Appraisal]? Yes. Please take a look at your status. What happened? Rico is a bit Ah! A lot of things are increasing! What? A lot? Um, Rico has talent in rare magic skill Ehhh? Seriously!? Wait, I only learned level zero of [Mana Sense], though!? Rico learned level two of [Mana Sense] and level zero of [Mana Control]. In addition, she has a skill called [Magic Effect Amplification]
In order to increase the power and effect of magic, one should raise the skill level or increase the amount of MP used for the magic, but [Magic Effect Amplification] seed to be a skill that increased the effect by inputting less MP on it. [Appraisal] sure was convenient since I could see the effect of the skill I saw for the first ti.
like that. Its a skill with that kind of effect. Im amazing!? Maybe I have a talent for magic!? Right, I think you have a talent. However, it will depend on the attribute magic you are suited for and the nature of your magic. There is a possibility that it can be a waste of talent, so its a bit hard to judge. Hey, Rens [Appraisal] cant tell that too? Uh
I could know both of that by using [Appraisal] and [Analyze].
Do you want to know? I want to! Please tell !
Hmm Since I was going to teach them magic in the future, it would be worthwhile to know it early, right? Maybe? Oh well, [Analyze]! Ohh.
Its very hard for to say this, but your attribute aptitude is only for non-attribute. Ren, is that good? Or bad?
Its better than nothing. However, since Rico cant use other attribute magic, she might be unable to use it depending on the situation, and the firepower falls behind. But since non-attribute can be used in all circumstances, it has an extrely all-purpose nature. Plus, since its easy to derive from non-attribute magic to other unique magic, she may be able to learn those as well if she does her best.
From the non-attribute magic, there were various other derivations such as [Recovery Magic], [Barrier Magic], [Magic Sword], [Magic Enhancent], and [Magic Weakening]. Well, its useless if the user had no aptitude for each of them, and people without aptitude for non-attribute could learn it as well. Even so, having an aptitude for non-attribute made it easier to learn.
But you have talent, Rico! Even now, your magic power is higher than Triela! And even if your firepower is inferior, you can supplent it with [Magic Effect Amplification! Rather, your firepower will beco high, you know!?
I an, Rico had been casting her eyes down and slightly trembled for a while, okay!? What should I do now!?
By the way, what is my aptitude? All of the basic four attributes.
Ahhh, Ricos trembling had increased in intensity!?
Hey, Ren!? Wait, is it my fault!?
Wasnt it Triela who asked that!? So cruel! No, no, thats not what important now! I have to do sothing about Rico!
Um, Rico. You dont have to worry too much. These things depend on how you use them, and there are many ways to utilize them. Right, you can consult with ! So, uhh, what should I say here?
Oh no, Im at my wits end. What should I do? I didnt hate little girls, but I wasnt good at dealing with situations like this. I would beco flustered like this.
As Triela and I panicked, Rico suddenly raised her head.
Thank you, Ren! Im amazing! With this, I can help everyone! Eh, Rico, youre not sad? Sad? Why? Er, you didnt feel anything when you heard about Trielas aptitude?
Ah, Im happy that we have the sa duties, you know? If I have the sa aptitude with Triela, my role wont be that important in the party, right? Also, Ren said that my non-attribute is versatile, I can use it at any ti, right? Then I can be useful at any ti. Isnt that great?
Yes, thats right. Originally, I couldnt use magic, so its already amazing that you told I could use it! Ren, thank you! I love you!
I honestly took Rico too lightly. I didnt expect that she would be this reliable. Triela also looked surprised. Probably, she had a similar impression to .
Rico is thinking over it well. I can see you have been working hard. Thats right! Since Im short, I keep pulling everyones legs. But now I can be useful for everyone! Thats why, please teach more about magic! Please, Teacher Ren!
Since she already said it like that, I had to give it my all! Ill pamper her properly! Ill make sure she wont be able to cry or laugh!
I understand. First off, both of you cant practice without . If Im not watching, you wont be able to deal with it. Eh~? We cant~? You cant. Once your magic power goes out of control, it will be fatal if youre careless. Okay, Ill endure it. Triela, please look out on Rico as well. I know, Ren. This kid will do sothing rash before long. If you break your promise, I wont teach you magic again. So heed my warning. Eh!?
As I thought, she was planning to do it secretly, eh. Jesus.
Ill say this as a warning. Ill know if youre secretly training, okay? I understand I wont do it
Why did she reply to like shes saying, Tsk, so noisy. I wont listen to you, Shes making really anxious.
By the way, Triela only had an aptitude for arrows and shields nature. She was really downhearted, but she shouldnt compare herself to Rico who was obviously talented. Plus, Im envious of Triela since I couldnt use attack magic, okay?
